Another Meeting

"Hahahaha, young generations are always interesting," the one who supported William from the start decided at last to intervene, "don't be upset. This old friend of mine is just jealous because you are going to be a rising, strong spirit master. And you don't belong to his clan."

"I'm not this pitiful!"

"If you don't feel this is all true, then I'm glad to confirm it to you, hahahaha!" the two seemed to be on the verge of fighting before Berry's grandfather interfered and said:

"Old friends, we just got out from such a hard fight. Let's go back and rest, shall we?"

William looked at all this and he knew this was all an act. One acted supportive, the other acted neutral, and one acted hostile.

The three were working in tacit understanding together, just like how friends should. William knew they were curious about the identity of his supposedly formidable master and were trying their luck in getting anything from him.
